On planet Perdide, an attack of giant hornets leaves young Piel alone in a wrecked car with his dying father. A mayday message reaches their friend Jaffar, an adventurer travelling through space. Onboard Jaffar’s shuttle are the renegade Prince Matton, his fiancée, and Silbad, who knows Perdide well. Thus begins an incredible race across space to save Piel.

A poignant, visually rich journey through loss and the search for connection. It blends existential dread with a quiet, determined hope, carried by a melancholic score and stunning, hand-drawn animation.
